2001 Chevrolet Tracker Reviews

2001 Chevrolet Tracker LT 2.5L V6 from North America

Summary:

This off road vehicle is more than it looks

Faults:

I bought the Tracker for $1400 from people who did not know much about maintenance. I spent another $1500 repairing and replacing it (brakes, shocks, radiator, freon, radio). I came in well under the $4800 blue book price, and it has been my daily driver for a year.

I really dig this little truck. It has OK mileage and power, and I can out-jeep any stock jeep made since 1994. Once I put my lift and tires on, I expect to take this thing anywhere there is a road.

I had the same problem with my heat. I don't know much about cars, fortunately when I purchased the vehicle at carmax in the heat of summer, I tested out EVERY component. They fixed it for free on the spot, I probably would have paid some mechanic $100 to plug that wire back in.

General Comments:

Overall, we're very happy with the car -- it's General Motors customer service and failure to stand behind their warranty that we have a problem with.

At 20,000 miles or so, the air conditioning stopped blowing cold air. Even though the car has a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty, they said that certain repairs aren't covered beyond 12,000. It doesn't say this anywhere in the warranty exclusions. Basically, GM pulled it out of the air.

The repair only cost us about $92, but it's a matter of principle.

We've been going back and forth with their so-called customer service. The best we've gotten is about a half dozen unreturned calls and three form letters.

Do yourself a favor: Stay away from GM products. If they wouldn't back their warranty on a $92 repair, imagine if something big had gone wrong?

Try a Kia Sportage or Hyundai Santa Fe. They warranty their product to 100,000 miles and actually stand behind it.

Well I think you must went to a BAD dealership because a few years ago I owned a Geo Metro and the dealership here fixed everything within the warranty. As far as Kia well they are nightmares and they don't stand behind the warranty all they say is that they can't find nothing wrong, and if they do find something they keep your car for months on end waiting to get parts in from korea.
